Of course, if you heard someone call a guy Sancho, or "a Sancho" then that is Mexican slang for a guy who steals another guy's girl.

Answer 2

"Sancho" is a Spanish name for males.

In common, slang-type, vocabulary, the word "sancho" has come to mean a term similar to the "other man" (the "lover") , the "stand-by" guy.

Answer 3

Sancho was also the name of Don Quixote's esquire, who followed his lord with complete loyalty and affection.  As a consequence, it gained some derogatory precedences and was soon a common slave name.  The joke was on slave owners though.  Perhaps the second most brilliant mind in England during the Age of Johnson--second to Samuel Johnson himself--was none other than manumissioned Ignatius Sancho, a playwright, composer, novelist, patron, businessman, etc.  Of course, Thomas Jefferson, said--and I paraphrase--Sancho wasn't really that smart, after all he couldn't be--he was black.  They wont teach you that in U.S. history.
